## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Torbay Council, seeks "Urgent Help Needed re Provision of PPE for NHS Staff" due to a critical shortage of gowns for NHS personnel in the Devon area. This tender falls under the classification of "Fire-brigade uniforms" and has additional classifications for "Police uniforms" and "Military uniforms." The open procurement method allows for various suppliers to participate, with the tender period having closed on 27 April 2020. The contract period is set from 28 April 2020 to 30 April 2020, and deliveries are to be made to addresses in the South West, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that manufacture or supply protective clothing and equipment, particularly those specialising in disposable or washable overalls, lab coats, and similar items. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given their suitability for this procurement process. Companies with existing stocks or the capability to quickly supply PPE will be well-positioned to benefit from this urgent need within the NHS and contribute to the public health response.

## Notice

As you may be aware, there is a national shortage of gowns for NHS staff. This shortage is also affecting us locally- and as a result, Devon is in desperate need of gowns. We are therefore putting out a plea for any boiler suits, lab coats, painting suits, chemical suits or any kind of disposable (or washable) overall with full length sleeves. Full information on the kinds of items which would be acceptable is available here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/ppe-strategy/isolation-gowns.html If you have stocks of anything which you think may be suitable, and which you are willing to spare, please contact the CCG on plannedcare.control@nhs.net. PLEASE NOTE THIS REQUEST RELATES TO IMMEDIATE SUPPLY OF THE ITEMS DESCRIBED.
